Thanks for all your feedback and I'll forward your views to the book publisher. In answer to your some of your questions, yes, I have documented /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer, many of the standard C library calls such as file operations and process control, the installation and use of grasp, Pentium optimizations under gcc and use of gprof, gnat's built-in libraries like the hash table and bubble sort packages. If the project gets the "go-ahead", I intend to cover the variious Ada bindings in a reference style format. Plus there's an Ada tutorial that covers basic language features. We need a book that puts all this information all in one place--it's the only way people will understand the versatility of Ada under Linux. -- Ken O.
